invited guests, and with interested spectators

Next the bridesmaids, Misses Nellie Maxfield,

A YALENSIAN EVENING.

Gay Society Events-The SO Boys Give
A German-SO DO the Seniors and
Juniors.
The junior ball on Tuesday evening, which
was calculated to make the charming buds of
society have good time and arise at late
hour yesterday morning, did not serve in the
least to make these same buds insensible to
the fact that there were three germans which
were to be held last night and at least one
of which they had been invited to attend.
halt in front of these three different places
and soon the grand society work of an eve
ming was commenced and the whirligig kept
up until a late hour. These three germans
were presided over by students of Yale col
lege. The first in order, according to CLASH
fcation, was the german of the
YALE GRADUATES OF '86.
The affair was held in Arion hall and was
led by E. G. Lambert. The young ladies
present were very tasteful1y and prettily
costumed.
About 20 couples were present. Among
the ladies present were the Misses White, of
this city; Miss Coles, Miss Matthews, Miss
Doane, Miss Sprague, all of Chicago, ILL.,;
Miss Lambert. Miss Potter, Miss Brown, of
New York; Miss Whitney, daughter of Pro-
fessor Whitney of this city; Miss Fisher,
daughter Of Professor Fisher of this city;
the Misses Cheney, of South Manchester:

R. Cooley of Hartford were in attendance.
Supper was served by Radcliffe.
THE SENIORS

Robinson's orchestra furnished the music
There were about 80 couples present. The
young ladies were elegantly attired, and
their many charms and graces stood forth as
conspicuously as a full-bloomed rosebud in
June. One of the most prominent of these
was Miss Lanman, of Hartford, who was
clearly the belle of the evening. She is
strikingly handsome girl, and in
the whirl of the dances is one of the best
and most graceful of the participants. The
german was chaperoned by Mrs. Ludington
of New York and Mrs. Stewart of Brooklyn.

One slide so be Used Hereafter.
The toboggan slide is expected to be in
good condition by this afternoon. The thaw
some days ago spoiled the foundation of ice.
This necessitated new foundation and work
men have been busy the last few days in
hauling blocks of ice from Lake Whitney.
It has taken considerable pains and trouble
to get the slide in good condition again. The
frequentsrs of the slide will, however, fully
appreciate it. 1t has been deemed best to
use but one slide hereafter. It was thought
that two would require altogether too much
work to keep them in good shape.
